Militia Court Martial
Fiity four names were made pubMc
to -ay at the office of the adjutant
general as the subjects of a natical
guard court martial which will sit in
November The charges against most
of the men are absence without leave
on the Ft Riley trip and disobedience
of orders
This is the first time a court mar
tial has ever been called to punish
men for misdemeanors in connection
with the Ft Riley maneuvers Or
dinarily violations of rules have sim
ply been overlooked The court mar
tial is a part of the insistent demand
of Adjutant General Hartigan that
the national guard is in earnest and
is not existing just for the fun of the
thing
It is expected that a few others
will be cited to appear So far no
members of the local company have
been notified

Dahlman and a Grand Jury
Mayor Dahlman is going about Ne
jraska claiming in his speeches that
he has enforced the law in Omaha as
mayor and that he stands for law en
forcement Here is an extract from
a report of the last grand jury that
sat for several weeks investigating
conditions in Omaha and turned in
its report December 4 1908
We regret to report that we find
men holding positions high in author
ity including the mayor of our city
who in many instances wholly dis
regard their oath of office that they
make only a feeble or no attempt to
enforce laws and frankly admit that
they in reality are not honestly and
earnestly serving the people Oma
ha Daily News
Apropos of the Hitchcock inciJent
and the loan lrom Eartley ex state
treasurer by the Democratic editor
it is perhaps enough to say that Mr
Hitchcocks explanation is not suffi
cient And it will be no little stunt
for the great Democratic editor to
satisfactorily explain to the people of
Nebraska why he should ever under
any circumstances borrow money from
a Republican state treasurer especial
ly at the time he did It is clarly
not sufficient
- v
There is ro gain to the Republican
party to the state of Nebraska or to
the nation in a vote for Hitchcock
A fair analysis of the course of E
J Eurkect will divulge the fact that I
there is small excuse for a Republican
to vote for Hitchcock and every fair
and reasonable claim for a vote for
Senator Eurkett for re election Let
no Republican falter at this important
crisis
The Republican who votes for Dahl
man is within his rights as a citizen
ot Nebraska and may measure up to
the stature of a good citizen but The
Tribune is firmly of the opinion that
such Republicans are mistaken and
that future years and the immedi
ate future at that will prove the ab
solute correctness of this view A
vote by a Republican for Dahlman is
more than a political error
It is evident that Colonel Meecham
will not object to receiving the wet
vote He has journeyed near enough
toward his final reward to know
better

EW YITIIIN an hour after J
Wri Cayuor linl been
y W down by an assassins
let it is safe to say th
least half the men m New York
give any attention to public affair
their management had thought
John Purroy Mitchel the young p
deut of the board of aldermen
which i probably have some slight under the charter would succeed to
the Grst oflice in the city if the u sy
Drs wound should result fatally
And it is equally afe to say that
tvith most of those who thought of
him it was a source of aiisfaction
and assurance rli it ihc min in second
place was of jnned character and
ability
Young Mr Mitcliel may not have
quite reached the idol stage in New
York city as yet but he is very near
it And be is there chiefly in fact
almost solely because of one achieve
ment
It is true that that achievement in
volved several phases It was the emi
nently successful administration of the
oflice of commissioner of accounts
which ho held for the last two years
of the McClellan administration His
success lay in the vitalizing of the of-
fice fie found out and ucd ibe pow
ers of the place
Exposed Tammany Graft
He put energy vigor and enthusiasm
into his work not to mention a mat
ter of highly specialized and trained
intelligence without which all the rest
would have been useless The imme
diate and spectacular result was the
downfall of a pair of Tammany chief-
tains who had long been engaged in

WHO IS
IS GRAFT PROBER
to men who actually do things His
head is neither large iior small and it
gets a good poise at the top of a long
and supple neck He has a high fore-
head broad at the base with high
arched eyebrows
Educated at Columbia
Mitchel was born thirty one years
ago in Fordham When only twelve
years old he entered St Johns college
Later he went to Columbia university
where by the time be was in his
sophomore year be attracted attention
as a speaker and debater He was a
member of the Pbilolexiau society the
Kings Crown and the Gun club In
his senior year he won the Philolexian
oratorical contest the most important
prize of its kind in the college year
On being craduated from Columbia
Mitehel became a student in the New
York Law school from which he re
ceived his diploma two years later
Then he entered the office of William
B Ellison a lifelong friend and the
counsel of Mitchels uncle Henry D
Purroy
The break of Purroy with Tammany
is a famous story in the history of
New York politics It took place in
JOHN PURROY MITCHEL
the early eighties Purroy who was
called the czar of the Bronx had
a falling out with Croker and onran
ized the Purroy Democracy after
ward called Little Tammany Hall
lie fought successfully for a time and
in 1S1 nominated Louis F Ilaffcn for
commissioner of street improvements
in the Twent3 third and Twenty
fourth wards a position corresponding
to the present day one of borough
president Haffen was beaten by
demonstrating to their political bench-
d en man
men the pleasing fact that public of- ljOUIIS mmany
backed b the Citizens
fice in New York under the regime of Improvement
the tiger was decidedly a private suap
The more remote but also more sub
stantial and durable result was the
public showing that administrative
methods in the city would be simpli
fied and made much more nearly if
not quite thoroughly honest with a
consequent saving of considerable
sums of money to the city taxpayers
Mr Mitchel found a great many
ways in which petty graft was being
levied on the city He paraded them
all before the scandalized if not igno
rant eyes of the citizens
Wise For His Years
Accompanying each one was a plain
and simple chart showing how it was
worked so that even the dullest and
least Interested could hardly fail to
understand also he showed in each
case the way to bring the graft to an
end
The president of the board of alder
men is a singularly wise young man
He is ahead of his years and his fel
lows In that respect
As he walks down the street he
would be taken even by the closely
observant neither for a dude nor a
doer He is well dressed but not a
fashion plate He stands erect steps
off smartly and Is nervously alert to
what is going on around him but
there are no doubt thousands of other
young men In New York to whom all
that applies with equal truth and
none of them has overthrown two
borough presidents and been elected to
the second place in the New York city
government
He is tall and slender Thin would
not be an inappropriate term of de
scription The brevity of perimeter
probably increases the effect of alti
tude but he looks to stand about six
feet and maybe he weighs 150
It is in the face and bands that there
shows the personal force which put
him through his years as commissioner
of accounts so brilliantly He has the
long fingered large jointed big veined
hands which almost invariably belong
league
On the death of neintz a year and a
half later naffen was appointed to
his place The following year he turn
ed against Purroy and became local
party leader in bis place
Purroy never forgave Tammany for
its treatment of him and it was stat
ed by Haffen himself that the hatred
of Purroy was handed along to bis
nephew John Purroy Mitchel A fur
ther reason for the dislike of young
Mitchel for the Tammany organization
Is found in the fact that his father
James Mitchel was appointed deputy
in the office of John H J Ronner
while the latter was serving as regis
ter When Frank Gass was elected to
succeed Ronner Haffens i nfluence
was sought to retain the elder Mitch
el but he was turned out through the
influence of Haffen politicians say
Proved Able Investigator
When Mayor McClellan decided to
investigate the office of Borough Pres
ident Ahearn he asked Mr Ellison
who had become corporation counsel
to assign a man from his office to as
sist the commissioners of accounts in
the work Ellison chose Mitchel
The young man was appointed spe
cial assistant corporation counsel and
speedily became the most important
figure in the investigation When Mr
Ahearns counsel objected that Mitchel
was taking the inquiry entirely out
of the hands of the commissioners
thereby violating the charter Mayor
McClellan obtained the resignation of
one of the commissioners and ap
pointed Mitchel to his place The in
vestigation resulted in Ahearns re
moval
Then followed the Investigation of
Borough President Haffen also result
ing in a removal Mitchel proceeded
to look into the work of the other offi
cers including Borough President Co
ler of Brooklyn and Investigated the
water department the fire hose scan
dal the board of education the police
department training school the bu
reau of licenses and many other mu
nicipal affairs with brilliant results
